Mitch Meyer (K-State), Tyler Nurdin (Oklahoma State) and Jake Matthys (K-State) have garnered the final set of Big 12 baseball weekly awards. For games played May 13-20, Meyer is the Big 12 Player of the Week, Nurdin is the Pitcher of the Week, and Matthys is the Newcomer of the Week.

This marks the second weekly honor of the season for both Nurdin and Matthys. Nurdin was the Newcomer of the Week on April 29, while Matthys won the same honor a week earlier on April 22.

PLAYER OF THE WEEKMitch Meyer, Kansas State, So., DH/OF, Stilwell, Kan./Blue ValleyMeyer went 6-for-12 with a double and four RBI last week against No. 19 Oklahoma as he helped Kansas State capture its first-ever Big 12 Championship. On Friday, Meyer capped a three-run sixth inning with a two-RBI single against potential top draft pick, Jonathan Gray, getting the Wildcats to within a run at 4-3. K-State went on to win the game and clinch the regular-season title. After doubling and scoring in the sixth inning Saturday, Meyer came through in a similar situation in the seventh inning when he drove in a pair of runs on a single to put K-State up, 5-0, en route to the series-clinching victory. Meyer added three more hits on Sunday.

Meyer, who ranks seventh in the Big 12 with 17 RBI against league competition, is hitting .429 (15-for-35) with a double, two triples, two home runs, 13 RBI and seven runs scored.

PITCHER OF THE WEEKTyler Nurdin, Oklahoma State, So., LHP, Fort Worth, Texas/Temple JCNurdin tossed his second career shutout to lead Oklahoma State to a series-clinching 5-0 win over West Virginia. The southpaw faced just four batters over the minimum while allowing only four hits and striking out seven, one shy of his career high.

In improving to 4-2 on the season, Nurdin dominated one of the Big 12’s top offensive clubs. He retired the first eight WVU hitters and 13 of the first 14. In the fifth, the Mountaineers collected three of their four hits in the game, all singles, to load the bases with one out in a scoreless game, but Nurdin retired the next two hitters to get out of the jam.

Over the final four innings, the sophomore retired the side in order three times. The lone runner he allowed during that span came on a walk to open the eighth – his only free pass of the game – a runner he quickly erased on a fielder’s choice before ending the inning with a double play.

Nurdin’s shutout lowered his ERA to 1.76, which ranks fifth in the Big 12.

NEWCOMER OF THE WEEKJake Matthys, Kansas State, Fr., RHP, Spring Lake Park, Minn./Spring Lake ParkMatthys helped Kansas State capture its first conference championship in 80 years as he earned a win and a save last weekend against No. 19 Oklahoma. The freshman relief pitcher, who has now seen time in 28 games this year, broke the K-State freshman record for wins on Friday as he improved to 8-0. His win total is also tied for ninth in a single-season in school history and is the most by a Wildcat relief pitcher in the Big 12 era. On Saturday, Matthys tied the Kansas State freshman record for saves by earning his sixth of the year.

Matthys is tied for first in the Big 12 in both overall and conference-only victories (5). He leads the league with 16 appearances in Big 12 play, while his five saves against league foes rank fifth. He ranks second and seventh, respectively, in the Big 12 in those overall categories.
